Hello,
I am looking for the syntax for a drop down menu. Something like "file name:" and then a drop down list of about 6 or 7 names to choose from. Any suggestions?

if you're talking about the file menu type drop down generally found at the top left corner of most programs, then what you want is a JMenu, to which you'll add JMenuItems.
but if you're talking about a drop down generally found inside the program, eg if you're using windows, sorry if this is a bad assumption, anyhat, right click your time at the bottom right on your toolbar, select "Adjust Date/Time", the drop down for the months can be created using a JComboBox, you can add any objects to that but in your case its Strings with the different names which you can either add to the JComboBox one at a time or create an Object[] or a Vector and pass that to the constructor when you create the JComboBox
have fun
TQ

Is this question something to do with JavaScript? Or JSP? Or what?
What's the context?

Getting someone to think and try something out is much more useful than just telling them the answer.
